Researchers discover various mechanisms of resistance to cancer therapy

An international research team under the co-direction of the University of Bern and the Netherlands Cancer Institute has discovered various mechanisms of resistance to cancer therapy. The findings help researchers to understand the self-repair of cancer cells after a therapy and thus help to fight resistant tumours more efficiently.

Drug that treats diabetes found to exert powerful check on macrophages in controlling inflammation

When tissue is damaged, one of the body's first inflammatory immune-system responders are macrophages, cells which are commonly thought of as "construction workers" that clear away damaged tissue debris and initiate repair.
